    Hi everyone, I'm Ally from North Yorks.
    I'm mainly going to be hanging around the veg forum, I've been waiting for an allotment for years and still no luck. I've been growing vegetables and flowers in pots dotted about our back garden for a few years and finally convinced my partner to let me dig up half of our lawn. :yahoo:
    It's going to be my first very own veggie patch, I'm going to go partly with raised beds probably. I grew up with very self sufficient gardening parents so I'm not a complete newbie but I definitely have gaps in my education. I just got to do the fun bits.
    Anyway, it's very nice to meet you all. :)

              Welcome. As a Scot, the only veg I like are potato crisps but there are plenty of vegetable growers here for advice and chat.
